    Dont know where you read your news but India is hardly praised or looked at in a positive light by majority of western newspapers or in the eyes of the western population. Most people in the west think of India as the rape capital of the world due to biased representation and misleading statistics.

    Muslims are defended all the time in our news in europe, meanwhile most europeans dont know much about indians and we are relatively few here so nobody cares if someone insults indians, and liberals dont really like us since we dont fit their victimhood narrative due to our economical success all over the world unlike women, blacks and muslims who are all protected since they are overall perceived as victims.

    He will come. He's probably just getting a rainbow frappucino at his local starbucks right now and cursing under his breath because he saw one Chinese guy and a couple Persian girls there.

    When it comes to politicians in the western world and so on, India does somehow gets a free pace. However, Indians and other South Asian groups often are targets for racial discrimination and bigotry in the western world.

    India gets a free pass by politicians because it is a ally of the west in that region. Saudi Arabia also gets a free pass. Also I dont know what you mean with "free pass" should they give sanctions to india or what should they do? In society india is not looked positive.

    It is only in some circles, mostly Western liberals like to praise India because it's a democracy. Also, new agey White people like yoga and all the spiritual stuff, and often go to India on hippy trips to find themselves. Plus, most Indian immigrants to the US are productive and many are smart engineers, so their image isn't bad. Of course, images of India itself to the general public is one of a dirty, backward and poor country so I would say the image overall is balanced in that way.
